Call for Papers

ICMLA 2019 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to present their latest achievements and innovations in the area of machine learning (ML).

The conference provides a leading international forum for the dissemination of original research in ML, with emphasis on applications as well as novel algorithms and systems. Following the success of previous ICMLA conferences, the conference aims to attract researchers and application developers from a wide range of ML related areas, and the recent emergence of Big Data processing brings an urgent need for machine learning to address these new challenges. The conference will cover both machine learning theoretical research and its applications. Contributions describing machine learning techniques applied to real-world problems and interdisciplinary research involving machine learning, in fields like medicine, biology, industry, manufacturing, security, education, virtual environments, games, are especially encouraged.

Contributions describing applications of machine learning (ML) techniques to real-world problems, interdisciplinary research involving machine learning, experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights into the design of ML systems, and papers describing development of new analytical frameworks that advance practical machine learning methods are especially encouraged.

All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Detailed instructions for submitting the papers are provided on the conference home page at ICMLA 2019 Submission Info

Paper Submission

High quality papers in all Machine Learning areas are solicited. Papers that present new directions will receive careful and supportive reviews. Authors are expected to ensure that their final manuscripts are original and are not appearing in other publications. Paper should be limited to 6 pages and submitted in IEEE format (double column). Papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, originality, significance and clarity. All submissions will be handled electronically. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. A selected number of accepted papers will be invited for possible inclusion, in an expanded and revised form, in some special journal issues.

ICMLA 2019 Best Paper Award and ICMLA 2019 Best Poster Award will be conferred at the conference to the authors of the best research paper and best poster presentation, respectively, based on the reviewers and Programme Committee recommendations.
